Hailed as cinema's first martial arts hero and a cinematic bridge between the cultures of East and West, Bruce Lee helped put Hong Kong on the movie world map.
So why are some in the city marking the 40th anniversary of his death in a toilet?
'In 1958, Bruce Lee was a student at St Francis Xavier's [College],' Wong Yiu-keung, chairman of the Bruce Lee Club, explains.
'One day, he was caught in a fight in a washroom by one of the fathers.
'But the priest also boxed back in his home country. So, he didn't punish him. Instead, he invited him to the boxing classes. Lee later participated in an interschool competition and won.'
The incident was significant in Lee, who died from swelling of the brain aged just 32, deciding to tunnel his love of martial arts into something positive.
A short time afterwards he opened a martial arts school in the United States, where he was born.
Fans of Lee will visit his Hong Kong alma mater this weekend as one of several stops on an unofficial 'Bruce Lee trail' in the former British colony, where the star spent his childhood.
Other points on the walk include Lee's statue on the Avenue of the Stars and the Bruce Lee Club house, both in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighbourhood of the southern Chinese city, which is without a permanent museum dedicated to the screen legend.
Fans will also take in a monastery in the New Territories which feature.

Bruce Lee's daughter has visited the major new exhibition dedicated to her father, as Juliana Liu reports.
The world knows him as Bruce Lee, the cool and cocksure Chinese-American martial artist who unexpectedly burst into global cinematic consciousness in the early 1970s.
He starred in only five feature films as an adult, and only three of them were released before his early death in Hong Kong at the age of 32.
But fascination with his life, philosophy and legacy remains, crossing the barriers of age and nationality.
Starting on Saturday, Hong Kong will mark the 40th anniversary of Lee's death by opening a five-year exhibition at the Heritage Museum celebrating the achievements of the city's biggest star.
'I think that actually the reason we are still taking about Bruce Lee today, and not in a nostalgic way but in a relevant way, is because of the depth of his experience and his philosophy and the authenticity of his life,' said Shannon Lee, his only daughter.
'If he just performed well in a few action films, without all that underneath it, then I don't think we would continue to be as relevant and inspiring today.'
Among the 600 items on display are the famous yellow track suit Bruce Lee wore in the film Game of Death, his poetry written in English, family photos and a notebook containing the award-winning cha cha dancer's rou

This could go down as 'Upset Thursday' as Group A of the ICC World Twenty20 2014 came to a close with unexpected wins for Nepal over Afghanistan and Hong Kong against Bangladesh - who nevertheless qualified for the Super 10s.
Nepal had never beaten Afghanistan in Twenty20 cricket prior to their game early on, and although Hong Kong then beat Bangladesh to silence the crowd in Chittagong, they didn't do so quickly enough to put Nepal through.
Bangladesh will now join Australia, India, Pakistan and the West Indies in Group 2 of the competition, which gets underway tomorrow with India playing Pakistan.
